V883 Ori is a remarkable protostar that boasts a temperature that is just hot enough for converting water in its circumstellar disk into gas. This…
This artist’s impression shows the planet-forming disc around the star V883 Orionis. In the outermost part of the disc water is frozen out as ice…
The radio telescope array ALMA has pin-pointed the exact cosmic age of a distant JWST-identified galaxy, GHZ2/GLASS-z12, at 367 million years after the Big Bang.…

Simulation of binary star. Credit: From the scientific article by Jørgensen, Kuruwita et al. Nearly half of Sun-like stars are binary. According to new research,…
Today, at simultaneous press conferences around the world, including at the European Southern Observatory (ESOCreated in 1962, the European Southern Observatory (ESO), is a 16-nation…
Scientists have observed, for the first time, the mysterious death throes of a carbon-rich asymptotic branch star (AGB). V Hydrae’s final act is characterized by…
Scientists have made the first comprehensive multi-wavelength observational study of an intruder object disturbing the protoplanetary disk—or birthplace of planets—surrounding the Z Canis Majoris star…
A pair of stars at the start of a common envelope phase. In this artist’s impression, we get a view from very close to a…
The VERTICO—Virgo Environment Traced in Carbon Monoxide—Survey observed the gas reservoirs in 51 galaxies in the nearby Virgo Cluster and found that the extreme environment…
This artist’s impression shows NGP–190387, a star-forming, dusty galaxy that is so far away its light has taken over 12 billion years to reach us.…
